Smart combinations. The coffee train shows the way – environmentally benign collaboration

The favourable CO2 balance of ocean transport in comparison with other modes of transport is impressive. Still, it is worth differentiating: rail is superior to road from the ecological point of view and the latter, in turn, to air. This is why we always recommend to customers in intermodal transport – the term used by logisticians to denote transport using changing types of carriage, also known as combined transport – the most environmentally benign combination at any one time. It is in the nature of things that this is chiefly shipments by rail, inland waterway or feeder ship.
